I'd like to meet:
After watching the new (2006) season of The Sundance Channels' "Iconoclasts" I want to meet Maya Angelou, Alice Waters. Isabella Rossellini, and Dean Kamen . Â
Maya Angelou was paired with Dave Chappelle . (A facinating exchange from within the same ethnic background, yet from two VERY different people whose world views are from very different eras.)
Alice Waters was paired with Mikhail Baryshnikov. She is a fascinating individual. (And Misha isn't to shabby himself.) The whole idea of eating organic foods that are eaten "in season" and by local growers is fascinating. The school that she has where kids (in several grade levels) learn to cultivate the soil, grow foods, harvest foods, and prepare foods is amazing. Each year they learn the next steps in the process. Way too cool for words!!
Loved, loved, LOVED the episode with Isabella and Dean Kamen . Isabella's background is completely fascinating...coming from what is now considered movie royalty. She also speaks several different languages which is something I aspire to do. Dean Kamen is amazing. His vision of stewardship and turning ideas into reality is truly inspiring.
